Sabrina wrote "Pushing 20" as a sassy way of expressing her feelings of not wanting to have to deal with what others want her to be. At the Singular tour, Sabrina revealed more about what inspired the song: "I wrote this song 'cause I was at a time in my life, by the way, like, six weeks ago? Like, not even that crazy long ago. But it was at a time in my life where, you know, I think a lot of you in this crowd, no matter what age you are, are going to go through that period in your life where you start making choices and having a lot more responsibility. And then you have to, like, think before you speak and think about the repercussions of things. And there's just a lot on your plate and it becomes very heavy and there becomes, like, one day where you start listening to yourself before you listen to the opinions of other people." This song is the first single from Singular Act II. The cover art is a parody of the cake that Hagrid made Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
